Pakistan F-16 Discussions 2

[JPMM]

When PAF getting its remaining 14 F-16s from USA and also why not another 12 F-16s from Venezuelan Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and may be more from Jordan too as they might be buying 80-120 EF-2000 with GCC support.

Also there are some other options too:
Chilean Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Royal Jordanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Portuguese Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Romanian Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Though USA has a huge fleet of F-16A/Bs so they can also sell 100s to PAF if they need to.

Sorry!! We are busy right now! The Romanian will be delivered from September 2015 to September 2016, too late!

LoL.... For a moment I thought your F-16 is being refuelled by Russian bomber!

Two Russian Tu95 Bear-H and two Il38 MIdas tanker were intercepted in 29/10/14 and 31/10/14 over the Atlantic Ocean near the Portuguese Coast, with their IFF & radios turn-off testing us. They were at 160 km from the coast. They came from the north and were being escorted by NATO fighters since Norway.

At the same time we were intercepting Russian Aircraft at the Baltic and the Russians MiG31 were intercepting Portuguese P3C CUP+ in ELINT mission near the Russian cost of Baltic.

Why PAF? Aren't those USAF insignia on the wings?

Probably yes.. But this pic was derived from PAF's official website.

It's not the 1st time, they have put USAF photos on PAF website earlier

I think it is one of those jets that were delivered to PAF in American markings

It's our own new C Block-52+, but what will others say that we can't even post a correct pic on OFFICIAL website

Nothing wrong in showing the world how the plane arrived in Pakistan

Won't be surprised if the jet was flown by an American pilot

If you look at the markings it has only the USAF roundels. No sqaudron / wing insignia. Probably to make it easier for PAF to give it new paint job

That is F-16C BLK52+, aircraft number 10902. It was the second C version to be delivered, and i believe was part of the official certification for the PAF standard.
If you look on the tail, it has the flag area painted out. I believe the F-16s are USAF asset (as their pilot might be flying) until it is delivered to PAF. That is to make sure, that if any mishap happens, it lies with the USAF/LM and not PAF.

@Windjammer what do you say, why did they leave the USAF roundels on the wings?

It looks like a Pakistani air field to me

Look at the last 2 pictures.. They both are Block 52 D... But the difference is the side body.. Is it removable?
